Depriving people of their votes is a GOP tradition by now. And you're 100% correct about the childish name-calling; people must lead totally miserable lives if they're unable to have a civil discussion because they're so filled with hatred and fear. That they resort to attacking strangers on a forum
tells you that they might be beating their kids or dogs at home. Such posters don't come here for debate, they come to satisfy their need to hurt or humiliate others, never realizing how glaringly obvious it is that the problem is within them and not their intended victims. You have to pity such socially inept people.

It's pretty telling all the tea party people in this thread right off the bat kick in the hate, name calling, and other childishness. If they were actual supporters of the constitution and wanted people to take them seriously, there should have been at least one that would stand up against these actions of tearing up recall petitions and spitting in people's faces, and how they don't represent the tea party, but no, not one has done so.
Yet they continue to wonder why people think the tea party is filled with nothing but uninformed, hate filled idiots
Government agency overseeing recall petitions says that Adolf Hitler and Mickey Mouse are legitimate names submitted since they have a MI address and they see no need to investigate their authenicity.
This is our 'recall petition' authority in action.

I'm not sure I can stand up and call out the tea party over this because I don't know thier reasoning. They might be crotchety old farts or hardcore republicans that aren't teaparty or whatever.
For whatever reason interfering with petitions, voters etc. should be prosecuted fully, like back in 2004....

I fully support the peoples ability to recall Walker under the state rules and let their will be known, that's the democratic process. If he is removed then so be it, that's the will of the people.

You started out with name calling and an outright lie. Hello pot, this is kettle. You have no moral high ground upon which to stand.
I already said this kind of thing has no place in the political process. I do not support it. I also, however, do not support your outright lie in this thread. Your very opening was libelous, suggesting this was organized and endorsed by the Tea Party when in fact the links you yourself provided said nothing at all about the Tea Party.
"Yet they continue to wonder why people think the tea party is filled with nothing but uninformed, hate filled idiots."
Because uniformed, hate filled idiots make posts like this, spreading lies and untruths.
Not surprising the teabaggers are kicking their intimidation, violence, complete disregard of the constitution and electoral process, and other thug tactics into high gear in wisconsin during the Walker recall efforts.
These incidents have all happened in just the past few weeks, who knows how bad their thuggery will get once election time comes around
"Western Wisconsin volunteers collecting signatures for the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker have allegedly again been met by aggressive opponents.
On Monday, a group of volunteers in Hudson said they were approached by a man who knocked over and tore their signs before urging a member of the group to "take a swing" at him, according to a police report."
And even more,
"In the Dec. 21 criminal complaint, Dennis L. Torkelson, 53, River Falls was charged with attempt to falsify information and criminal damage to property,..Two volunteers said a man came up, looked at the petition forms, grabbed a pen, paused, and jabbed at the petitions with signatures, ripping them."
"On Dec. 18, a 32-year-old woman was arrested in River Falls for allegedly spitting on a woman who was collecting signatures for the Walker recall"
"On Dec. 17, Pierce County authorities were called after a man began shouting at recall signature collectors in Elmwood, but the man left before officers arrived"
"Also on Dec. 17, two men, ages 55 and 28, were arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct for allegedly spitting on people gathering recall signatures in the village of Arena, about 30 miles west of Madison"
I think the two men who were accused of spiting, were just two democrats, spitting into the wind, with this useless recall petition crap.
How are these people knocking over signs, etc... automatically TEA party folks? I think these are just actors, hired by dems, to act like this, and i have just as much proof as you do, when you claim they are TEA party members.
This whole recall action is nothing but an abuse of a perfectly good voter tool. You recall a corrupt or unethical politician, you don't just throw a hissy fit, and whine for a recall, just because your guy lost the election. Want to win? Then put up a better candidate!! The dems don't even have anyone willing to run a viable campaign against Walker, all they have is a hissy-fit inspired rage.

It is so sad to see groups resorting to tactics like that. I am sure those on the other side of the issue do have their own thugs as we have seen on the news also. That is not the domain of the Tea Party people I must point that also. I wish those types of people would stop and think but I know that won't happen. Those tactics have been used by all groups even from the start of our nation. Take care.

Neither us nor the cops were there when the incidents took place. It could have happened like the witness (recall petitioners) stated. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. Personal belief, the recall petitioners are very aggressive to get signatures, they get angry and in yelling matches with those who refuse to sign, words are exchanged, threats are exchanged, in a fit of rage, the person lashes out. Doesn't make them "tea party" people. Why would police take the side of the recall petitioners? They're in a union.

Not the topic, we are discussing the tea party thuggary running ramped in Wisconsin.
Are you trying to talk about rampant while using ramped as a word? Ramped just doesn't fit an sentence you have posted on this thread. Try a dictionary if you don't believe me.
